DG170AXW1 Westinghouse Dryer - Instructions

Inserted clasp in frame of door

It was super easy ! The part came and I had it done in less than ten minutes. No mechanical skills necessary !

Exactly how the video showed! It was super easy and I am a girl...although I am a lil more mechanicly inclined than most girls, it was a piece of cake!

Flame Sensor didn't fix it but, it was easy to replace. Unplug electric. Lift up the top and remove wires from switch and light switch. Remove screws that hold on the front and remove front panel by lifting up and out. Sensor is on the left side of the burner, held on with just one screw. EASY!

It was really easy to install the new roller with the newly designed side flange! All I had to do is hook in the tension spring. Works perfect again without the squeeking noise!

I replaced the latch on the body and on the door and it worked very well. I had to watch the video first. Thank you.

First I have to say that this was the fourth appliance repair I've done with Partselect parts. I am very pleased with all parts I've gotten from Partselect. The things I've ordered here are delivered quickly and are correct. Now for the dryer repair. I guess the most important tool I had to complete the job was the excellent video demonstration on the Partselect web site. I found that by following the instructions on the video even I had no problems. I spent more time cleaning the inside of the dryer than I did on installing the rear drum bearing. I probably saved us several hundred dollars by making the repair myself. At first I was intimidated but after I got the top off of the dryer and the front off the repair was simple and straightforward. Total time of repair was about fifteen minutes. Total time spent cleaning the lint and other stuff (I did find two dimes and a penny) was about forty five minutes. One hour total and my wife and I have a dryer which is acting like it did when we purchased it in 2001. Thanks to Partselect. Barry

Very simple. Pop the top open released the beld from the back it's easier that way the video was very helpful the sound was so bad you can hear it from a few houses down after year of just using it like that I figured I ha d nothing to loose great price great instructions now it sounds just as new.

I watched the repair video on how to replace the rear bearing and ordered the parts.The video was 100% correct and showed the repair step by step I didnt even need to replay it.The repair went as expected and no left oover parts. My dryer runs smooth and quiet, My wife loves her quiet dryer.

Unplug dryer, remove rear access cover and removed belt from pulley. Remove bottom cover on front of dryer, remove top of dryer, unplug harness to control panel and remove front door assembly. Remove screws from drum to bearing assembly. Removed drum and belt removed bearing assembly by lifting up and out of the bearing socket. Vacuumed all the lint. Removed the bearing socket, installed all parts and covers in reverse order.

Found instructions on "UTube"some of the screws were in a different position but you can see them. While you have the dryer apart it's a great time to clean it and also as long as you've gone this far replace the belt,it's probably time.

This is a front load dryer. First unbolt top cover of dryer. Then unbolt screws and connections to control panel. Next unbolt all screws holding dryer door and front bottom panel. Next take belt off of drum and slide out drum from the front. From inside of drum remove 3 screws and remove bearing then put new bearing on and bolt up the same way you take old one off. Using an 8mm socket or wrench remove plastic bearing cage located at rear of dryer. When unbolting there is a retaining clip and small steel ball to be removed from back of dryer. Replace this the same way you take it off. He sure to grease the bearing cage then replace everything back from putting the drum in first to your last step bolting on top cover of dryer. Hope this helps anyone doing this repair.

First I like fixing things for myself. So I looked the problem up on the internet. Found the repair tech that I needed. The found your parts site. And BOOM. Looked up mt part on your site. Very easy you had everything I needed. And you got it to me quick. THANKS. When the part hit my mailbox. Everything I needed was there. I pulled the plug. Fliped the lid up. Took off the front. Removed belt off the ideler. Removed drum replaced bearing assy. Put it back together. Closed the lid and pluged the unit in. Worked so well I felt like a pro. My wife was tickled pink. Just like a new one. Thanks guys for making me look good and saving me a lot of money. Will use this site again. I give you 2 thumbs up.

Followed video that was provided!! Now I know how to get the top and front of dryer OPEN. Now I can clean interior of dryer ALSO, lots of lent!!

I viewed the video from your site (Parts Select's) and followed those directions... which took the guess work out of the job and made it simple. Also the video alerted me to small ball bearing in the back which might have caused some head scratching if not for viewing the video. While everything was apart I did spend extra time cleaning. Many THANKS to Parts Select and the courteous parts person that I spoke with and placed my order with.
